other local twIn & Multiple meet ups
These groups are not run by the ELTMC charity - they are run by other not for profits and charities across the Lothians. But we know how invaluable it is to meet other local multiple families and have a safe place to play, and these groups are highly recommended.
Twineez playgroup runs monthly Saturday play sessions from Kidz n Kin play cafe in the Centre, Livingston. Follow Kidzeco on Facebook and book on Bookwhen
Play Multiplied playgroup in Musselburgh runs regular Thursday meetups. Follow and book a place on Instagram

Plenty of non twin specific baby classes and playgroups are very welcoming of twins and multiples too. Our Facebook group is full of local recommendations with helpful class leaders and twin discounts.
